Preferred term

low elaborative reminiscing style  

Definition(s)

  • Mothers who use a low elaborative reminiscence style do not have a lot of conversations with their child about the past. When they do, their questions are specific and redundant. They repeat a question when the child does not respond or moves on to another aspect of the event being discussed. Such conversations do not lead to the construction of a coherent narrative about the past.
